What’s in a name - Who is He?
“Who is He” is the acid test, to believe on Him is the true object of faith
The gospel of John Chapter one declares for us eight great truths concerning our Lord Jesus Christ.
1. He was and is the eternal one, who always existed before time and matter. “In the beginning was the Word”
2. He was and is a Person distinct from God the Father. “The Word (the pre-incarnate Christ)”
3. He was and is God “The Word was God”
4. He was co-existent with God (the Father) from eternity.
5. He was the creator of the universe
6. He is the source of all life and light. (both physical and spiritual)
7. He is the self revealing God to a fallen universe. His self disclosure is invincibly victorious.
8. He entered the world of men and they ignored Him.
The Word – who He became. The Word (The Eternal Creator God) became (flesh man). The mystery of the ages God became Man, the God-Man. Deity united Himself to humanity in one glorious Person forever tented in a tabernacle of flesh among us.
Those who saw the God-man saw the glory of the “only Son from the Father” They actually saw God who is invisible in the only Son, who made God known and introduced a new era of grace and truth.
As He spoke many believed on Him (John 8:30) those who believed on Him, He said to them, “if you continue in My word, then are ye my disciples (John 8:31)
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32)
Faith in Christ manifested by continuance in His Word (John 8:31-32) is the gateway to Spiritual freedom not ritualism or human descent. Whoever is enslaved by sin is not free, only the Son can set the sinner free.
The clarity of the Word of God affords answers to a world that has none. The Word of delivers an all powerful God, offering peace for eternity at the foot of the cross. Fulfillment in a world which promises much yet never delivers.
